OpenDay with Audacity

This has been a quiet open day with just a few people browsing and spending time downloading software & bruning Linux CDs with the toaster.We also went to see how our NgomaVuma artists perform at the shopping mall.

Once back in the cafe - we spent time jamming to swahili songs and experimented with Audacity.

Opencafe in partnership with Australian Football League South Africa.

It really feels like a long time when the above NGOs came to an agreement of working together.It has truly been three good years of support from the Opencafe. AFL South Africa is an Australian Football federation in South Africa that is still on a development stage.

When our offices moved to Potchefstroom, likely enough we landed on the Opencafe’s warm hands. They provide our federation with full support of website maintenance weekly, which include free usage of the Internet once a week, web development training, fixing minor problems in our computers and marketing.

Because of the support and co-operation we are giving each other, I believe the two will grow stronger and continue working good together.

In case you were wondering what Australian Football is, well it is a combination of different sports because it has the elements of Rugby, Soccer, Basketball, Handball and Cricket. To find out more, click here.
